New from Exotek Racing and designed for Team Durango’s 410 and 210 series vehicles are these aluminium suspension mounts. Made for the DEX410 buggy are the 3.0°, 3.5° and 4.0° RR hangers that give rear toe-in settings of 3° up to 4° while retaining the possibility to adjust the rear anti-squat using the kit’s plastic inserts. The parts are CNC-machined and sport a beefed-up centre section for added strength. Also new are the +0° and +.5° RR hangers for the 210 cars. The +0° part retains the stock suspension setting while the +.5° part adds half a degree of toe-in to make for an overall 3.5° setting. Both parts are CNC-machined from aluminium, come gold anodised and are marked for easy identification.

JConcepts have released two new profiled inserts for 1/10th truck and 1/10th buggy. The insert for 1/10th racing trucks was debuted during the 2012 Cactus Classic and has been used in a testing phase throughout 2012. The material and design is very similar to the popular 1/10th buggy rear insert giving it a medium to firm feel. The new 3206-3 1/10th buggy rear insert comes on the heels of the success of the 3206-2 insert. The -3 insert as it is called, utilizes the same inner and outer cuts as the -2 but with a slightly rounder profile, the insert rounds the shape of the tire slightly which is advantageous in loose conditions with treaded tires or when using slick type tires.
After receiving a large amount of interest for their upcoming team driver-only aluminium set-up board, Sven and Michael from Revolution Design have decided to make it available also for the public. The Ultra Set-up Board comes in 3 cool anodized colours, black, gold and hard-anodized olive green and is 570 x 440 x 2mm. The graphic on the board is made for buggies but also fits touring cars and features lines for toe-in and easy identification of wheelbase.
